Large Truck Campers: how practical?

Well in the first photo, the TC is fine for nice dirt roads. In the second he had it overloaded, on a dirt road with undulations pulling a trailer that was already stressing the chassis. A large jarring bump would be the straw that broke the Camels back.

You are making a guess which is fine. However, we don't know if the failure case is actually the trailer hitch weight, the TC, or a combination of both.

Back to my first post, I'd rather not have a long overhang since that weight is all behind the rear axle. Based on what others have posted here, long TCs can actually take weight off the front axle. I don't think putting all of the weight on the rear axle can ever be.a good thing.
